romney has a 39-point gap. pew's last poll understated the degree to which john mccain was going to lose latinos. and their last poll this year is projecting a 39-point loss for romney. in another poll, the decisions poll out ahead of the election a couple days ago shows an even worse result. pew has romney down by 39 points. latino decisions has him down by 49 points. 13 points worse than john mccain did when john mccain lost badly. so yes, this race is close. the polls say president obama is likely to win even though it's going to be close. if you're curious, the reason they think they might not lose is because of who they think will actually vote. who will be able to vote and have their vote counted? they are counting on electorate choosing the president that turns back time in terms of how white the country really is. here's my question, though. even if that works tomorrow, is that really a plan for the future? joining us now is frank rich, new york magazine's writer at large. it's great to have you here. >
